All of the following statements about the typical feature of a periapical granuloma are true EXCEPT
1. It consists of proliferating granulation tissue
2. It can form only if the periapical bone is resorbed
3. It shows evidence of local antibody production
4. It results from immunologically mediated tissue damage
Oral Pathology
Answer: 2
Periapical granulomas were diagnosed as well-circumscribed periapical
radiolucency measuring less than 1.5 cm in diameter, periapical cysts were
characterized by well-defined periapical radiolucency with sclerotic borders
measuring greater than 1.5 cm, and periapical abscesses were characterized by
ill-defined periapical radiolucency with diffuse margins.
While bone resorption can occur in the presence of a periapical granuloma, it
is not a prerequisite for its formation. A periapical granuloma can develop in
response to pulp necrosis or infection without necessarily requiring bone
resorption to occur first. The granuloma can form as a reaction to the
inflammatory process, regardless of the state of the surrounding bone.
All are features of Intravascular hemolysis except -
1) Thrombocytopenia
2) Hemosiderinuria
3) Decreased haptoglobin
4) Raised indirect bilirubin
General Pathology
Answer: 1
Thrombocytopenia is not a feature of intravascular hemolysis; it is more commonly associated with other conditions such as bone marrow disorders.
All of the following statements about an intraoral dental X-ray film are true except
1. It is composed of a cellulose acetate base coated with a silver bromide emulsion
2. It has a thin sheet of lead foil that lies in front of the film to prevent overexposure
3. It has an embossed dot on it which should be orientated towards the source of X-rays
4. It is exposed by the direct action of X-rays on the emulsion
Oral Pathology
Answer: 2
The statement about the lead foil is incorrect; it lies behind the film to prevent backscatter.
The prothrombin levels that is of concern to dentist extraction is
1) 20 % normal PT
2) 40 % normal PT
3) 50 % normal PT
4) 100 % normal PT
Oral Pathology
Answer: 1
Prothrombin time (PT) is a measure of the blood's clotting ability. In dentistry, a PT level of 20% below normal is often considered a threshold for increased risk of bleeding during surgical procedures such as tooth extraction. At this level, the patient may be at risk for prolonged bleeding or hemorrhage. Dentists typically assess a patient's coagulation status before performing invasive procedures, especially if the patient has a known bleeding disorder or is on medications that affect clotting.
